Abstract

A work vehicle includes a main frame extending along a longitudinal axis and a pair of actuators mounted to the main frame. The actuators are configured to set an orientation of a tool mounted below the main frame, which in a home position center the tool on the longitudinal axis. An operator cabin mounted to the main frame has a pair of structural posts extending from a floor to a roof at a front side of the operator cabin. An operator seat mounted in the operator cabin faces forward so as to create a forward field of view to the tool for an operator seated in the operator seat. The front structural posts are spaced apart laterally on each side of the main frame at a distance from a longitudinal axis such that they each overlap along a reference line one of the actuators within a forward-looking field of view.
